I just might have to get into Dragon, especially for that F4F Wildcat, ME-262 and the 1:144 German bombers! With the quality seen on past dragon planes - even their smaller scale vehicles should be great.

Most Excellent!

I'm glad Dragon is making their WW2 bombers in 1/144 scale. They will look nice next to Corgi's 1/144 B-52.

The Wildcat, Hellcat, P-51B and the other planes all sound great. Can't wait to see the pics!

I was hoping to see an A-10 Warthog somewhere on that list. The freakin A-10 is one of the most important weapons on the battlefield today, kinda pisses me off that nobody's doing one.

I'm with you on this one, it boggles my mind as to why we've not seen a decent scaled version of the warthog, keeping fingers crossed that maybe bbi will suprise us with a large scale, and perhaps Dragon or Revell of Germany may release a 72nd scale 'hog.

Amen on the A-10!

I would like to see a Desert Storm era European Green version and then an all Gray version we see today. I would like one with shark's teeth, and another with DM on the tail.
